Turpin Hero

On Hounslow Heath as I rode o'er I spied a lawyer riding before
 "Kind sir are you afraid, of Turpin, that mischievous blade?"
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 Said Turpin, "He'd never find me here, I hid my money in my boot."
 The lawyer says, "There's none can find, I hid my gold in my cape behind."
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 As they were riding past the mill
 Turpin commands him to stand still;
 Says, "Your cloak I must cut off, my mare she needs a saddle cloth."
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 ♪
 As Turpin rode in search of prey
 He spied a man on taxway;
 And boldly then he bid him stand,
 "Your gold," he said, "I do demand."
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 
 Oh Turpin then without remorse
 He knocked him quite from off his horse;
 And left him on the ground to sprawl
 While he rode off with his gold and all
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 Well Turpin is condemned to die
 To hang upon yon gallows high;
 Whose legacy is a strong rope
 For the shooting of a dung-hill cock.
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
 Oh rare Turpin hero, oh rare Turpin oh
